in the beginning i can understand it pissing people off, but those shows he wasn't getting paid more than a couple hundred bucks. by this point and time i feel people should realize they are paying for the music and the mask, and because of how he has built himself there is always the possibility for the great twist that the real doom has never actually performed ever and is super lowkey, which would be awesome imo.

your sUch a brainwashed dicksucker to be condoning that shit

damn people are such sheep

im a hardcore doom fan

but him using the mask

and making it all about the music, then shitting on people who want to see him

is hypocrite shit

i don't feel condoning it is a proper way of describing how i feel. if i were to pay to see him and got an impostor i would definitely be pissed off and disappointed, but at the same time i would understand that's what he does and every one of his shows there is a chance this will happen. and when you consider the fact that he has such a long track record of doing this it really shouldn't be a surprise, it's an event worth discussing but it isn't something that should bring shock and awe while inciting argument.

lmao at people defending this fuck shit, like he's a brilliant concept artist for being a fraud nigga to fans that prevented him from starving to death in the streets

Duchamp painted his name on a urinal and look how that turned out. Not complicated, but certainly clever. And before you say anything, no, I'm not directly comparing DOOM to Marcel Duchamp. I'm only using the analogy to explain how a simple and "stupid" idea can also be well-respected and influential. I think the people who are defending DOOM's actions are the ones who see the artistic nature of them.

you seem to be the only nigga mad about this. he's not doing anything to the fans, he's doing it to the promoters. true fans never expect DOOM to show up, and no fans were outspoken about the situation, only the promoters. what does that tell you? the promoters just wanted to bring out a crowd by getting DOOM, and they had no idea who the fuck he really is.

giving doom waaaay too much credit, like he's a household name or some shit.

Amazing 2 hour takeover with DOOM interview's and music...as usual says he's almost done with Madvillainy2 and Ghostface Collab, but also reveals he has a track with Earl Sweatshirt and another with Jay Elec. Must check out for any DOOM fans

I call bullshit here.But even as a longtime fan I can't get behind this fuckery. Think about all the fans who went to see him 5 or 6 years ago before anybody knew what he was doing. They weren't stupid, they just got ripped off. Even now, there are a lot of people who just recently got into his music who might still be unaware of this fraud. You can't justify conning people like that.

I've heard that DOOM really is OD jaded and cynical towards the rap game behind the scenes, but I fuck wit that because the rap game is 85% idiots anyway. There aren't too many dudes that even COULD pull some shit like this off even if they wanted to, so I give the villain props for 1) doing something different 2) being smart enough to make a scheme like this really go his way and 3) showing everyone in the world just how much of a fuck he doesn't give (not to mention staying completely true to character)

This is historic shit, dudes should be happy they were in the building for this at all

I have a question though. Like, his image is the villain...and that's why he does no shows. What other villainous things has he done? Kind of a one trick pony of villainy if you think about it. He should try something new with his villain image.

What has any other villain done except try to destroy a city, or the world? They're all pretty linear in the grand scheme of things. Its not like DOOM can just go out killing people, he is a villain as far as rap goes. Theres not much worse you can do in the rap game than take promoters money

Sure but they approached it in different ways. NIggas got creative with their plots. His villainy is just "I don't show up to shows. I'm such a villain." LMAO. Not really that creative if you think about it. Now Andy Kaufman was a genius when he'd troll people. Doom ain't really doing anything impressive with his villain shtick.

i think everyone who has posted in this thread would be pissed off if they went to a show expecting to see doom and got some random no name instead. even if we understood why he does what he does, it will never be enough to make up for the fact you didn't get to see doom, and that's what i was tryin to say earlier if my words weren't able to express that clear enough. you have to have a mental imbalance if you actually find pleasure in being personally ripped off and let down.

at this point i feel people are just arguing different points. some people are out here defending the artistic intention, others are pointing out how his "art" actually just pisses people off. like even if you know doom doesn't go to half his shows but you decide to take that chance and go to a show and you get your hopes up that shit maybe i am gonna actually see this fool live and then he doesn't show, you're gonna be pissed off and that's when you went to this show with the knowledge and reverence on the fact that doom doesn't show up to half his shows. it's historic and cool and shit to read about because its someone who is getting away with fuckery irl, but for the people he commits the fuckery too it's hard too appreciate or even see a big picture when you are too busy being pissed off.
